Episteme and Techne

A new creative design competition hosted by Dwell and James Hardie.

Titled “Playhaus,” this competition challenges designers to create a children’s playhouse. However the designer’s mission is to think beyond the typical playhouse prototype—dollhouses, pirate ships—and develop a structure that is daring, decadent and chic. The design should turn the heads of slow passersby, and be the envy of fun-loving kids and sophisticated parents alike.

And because the grand prize is $10,000, we thought this would be a unique and fun opportunity for SCAD Architecture students and faculty.

All of the details, rules and regulations can be found at dwell.com/playhaus. The deadline is Sept. 30.

Dwell Magazine and Inhabitat.com are pleased to announce the first ever Reburbia competition: a design competition dedicated to re-envisioning the suburbs.
